In an interview on Fox News Sunday, US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Shannon Bream that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not, nor are they planning to, investigate Jonathan Ross—the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who shot and killed Renée Nicole Good in her car in Minneapolis earlier this month.
“We don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody or putting his life in danger,” Blanche, formerly Donald Trump’s personal attorney, said. The Trump administration began asserting immediately after the killing that Good was a “rioter” who committed an “act of domestic terrorism,” continuing a long pattern of responding to deadly tragedies by making baseless and false claims.
“We investigate when it’s appropriate to investigate and that is not the case here, it wasn’t the case when it happened, and it’s not the case today,” Blanche insisted. “If circumstances change, and there’s something that we do need to investigate around that shooting or any other shooting, we will,” he said, adding, “but we are not going to bow to pressure from the media, bow to pressure from politicians.”

Well, this is basically immunity from murder charges
Hopefully the state doesn’t drop the ball.
So then MN can continue with the investigation, as they had intended, and was appropriate in the first place.
They always could press their own charges.
By publicly admitting that the FBI isn’t investigating then the federal government loses the ability to claim ‘ongoing investigation’ when the State asks a judge to force the evidence to be handed over.
They have his name, and video from every angle. It’s pretty much all the evidence they need.
So many are claiming the video proves she hit him when it proves the exact opposite
It doesn’t matter what so many claim, it matters what the judge sees.
Ideal!
Precisely, as State charges are not available for Federal pardons.
“We don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody or putting his life in danger”
“We’ve already been given the narrative by our superiors, and we can’t let things like facts or evidence interfere with it”
The same FBI that kicked the local PD off the investigation and told them they were taking over the investigation?
We’re taking over the investigation that we won’t do.
-FBI
“an officer” okay, so they’re extending the right to kill American police seem to have, to ICE.
Oh, is that Todd “The President could order Seal Team 6 to kill his political opponent” Blanche?
“We don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody or putting his life in danger,”
Yes, we know. That is the problem.
So Minnesota is free to.
